Usando virus per studiare circuiti neurali è un metodo relativamente elevata velocità di analizzare neuroni collegati. Tuttavia, generando sia VSV e virioni RABV non è banale. Anche se il protocollo di cui sopra per il salvataggio virus dal cDNA è fornito, è ancora una bassa probabilità dell&#39;evento. I livelli di ciascuna delle N, P, L e plasmidi bisogno di essere regolato con precisione, e molte prove e repliche deve essere fatto per garantire soccorso virale.

viral tracing of genetically defined neural circuitry

I metodi classici per studiare i circuiti neuronali sono velocità piuttosto bassa. Transsynaptic virus, in particolare la pseudorabbia (PRV) e del virus della rabbia (RABV), e più recentemente virus della stomatite vescicolare (VSV), per lo studio di circuiti, sta diventando sempre più popolare. Questi metodi di throughput superiori usare virus che trasmettono tra neuroni sia in direzione anterograda o retrograda. Recentemente, un RABV modificato per monosinaptico retrograda traccia è stata sviluppata. (Figura 1A). In questo metodo, la (G) gene glicoproteina viene eliminato dal genoma virale, e fornita solo in neuroni mirati. Specificità infezione si ottiene sostituendo un G chimerico, composto del dominio extracellulare del ASLV A-glicoproteina e il dominio citoplasmatico del RABV-G (A / RG), per il normale RABV-G 1. Questo G chimerico infetta specificamente le cellule che esprimono il recettore TVA 1. Il gene che codifica TVA può essere delivered con vari metodi 2-8. Dopo RABV-G infezione di un TVA che esprimono neurone, il RABV può trasmettere ad altri neuroni, sinapticamente collegate in senso retrogrado di natura della sua G privato, che era co-espresso con il recettore TVA. Questa tecnica etichetta un numero relativamente elevato di ingressi (5-10%) 2 su un tipo di cellula definito, fornendo un campione di tutti gli ingressi su un tipo di avviamento definito cella. Recentemente abbiamo modificato questa tecnica da utilizzare VSV come transsynaptic tracciante 9. VSV ha diversi vantaggi, tra cui la rapidità di espressione genica. Qui i dettagli di un nuovo sistema di tracciamento virale utilizzando utile per sondare microcircuiti con risoluzione maggiore VSV. Mentre le strategie originali pubblicati da Wickersham et al. 4 e Beier et al. 9 etichettatura permesso di eventuali neuroni che sul progetto inizialmente-infetti TVA esprimono cellule, qui VSV è stato progettato per trasmettere solo alla TVA-cellule esprimenti (Figura 1B). Il virus viene prima pseudotyped con RABV-G per consentire infezione di neuroni a valle di TVA-neuroni che esprimono. Dopo aver infettato questa prima popolazione di cellule, il virus rilasciato può infettare solo TVA-esprimenti cellule. Perché la diffusione transsynaptic virale è limitata a TVA-esprimenti cellule, presenza di assenza di connettività di tipi cellulari definiti può essere esplorato con alta risoluzione. Un diagramma di flusso sperimentale di questi esperimenti è mostrata in Figura 2. Qui mostriamo un modello di circuito, che di direzione selettività nella retina di topo. Esaminiamo la connettività di starburst cellule amacrine (ZSC) a cellule gangliari della retina (RGC).
